For many years Marion Julius has worked in corporate offices doing a
variety of roles she tells us about her experiences and what kept her
motivated whilst dealing with frustrated and angry customers. Working
to deadlines, managing tasks and getting those sales targets Marion
has dealt with many people of all backgrounds. She tells us how
each office environment was similar or different as she worked in
from small to medium and to even large offices. The companies,
firms and organizations she had worked for over the years all taught
her something. Marion says there are ways that keep you motivated in an office she finds that doing some form of exercise is generally a good
thing. Whether that’s before or after work or maybe even in a lunch
break she also says there are ways to keep you happy at work by
having something that inspires you at your desk. For her that
would be a L. Ron Hubbard inspiring quote she’d place at her
work station and also had a STAR WARS mug there. Office work
can be stressful but not for Marion who would enjoy their free
complimentary massages which the offices would give to staff. Marion
says “most offices I worked for in Australia were really good as they
had everything the gym, the cafe, the relaxing rooms and much more.
I was always spoilt no matter where I went.” The offices Marion
worked for had great incentives and she tells us how her experiences
were all positive. Having worked for many different industries Marion
tells us that she felt that ongoing training is very important most
places just do training when people start then it stops. This is
helpful because people tend to either forget how to do things or they
make mistakes and it causes problems. They lack something so they
cannot make sales or perform well offices can be boring at times so
there needs to be something exciting close by or inside. The office
environments need to have an exciting energy to keep people interested
in doing their work. The corporate culture and their vision, mission and
values plus their team spirit and support to work colleagues plays a
big part in the corporate world. Keeping people happy and so they
stay not leave generally people leave a job because there’s something
not right so its good to have people of all levels be happy so that the
work can get done.
